 Down the Cost of Paint Seventy- 

 Five Per Cent 



A Free Trial Package is Mailed to Everyone 

 Who Writes 



A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, 

 N. Y., has discovered a process of making a new 

 kind of paint without the use of oil. He calls it 

 Powdrpaint. It coraes in the form of a dry powder ; 

 and all that is required is cold water to make a 

 paint weather proof, fire proof, sanitary, and dur- 

 able for outside or inside painting. It is the ce- 

 ment principle applied to paint. It adheres to any 

 surface, wood, stone, or brick, spreads and looks 

 like oil paint and costs about one-fourth as much.

 St., Adams, N. Y., and he will send you a free trial 

 package, also color card and full information show- 

 ing you how yoii can save a good many dollars.
